Random question, but how much does your rear section exhaust for the E39 M5 cost? I know someone that might be interested, but the products page for the FMU website is down.

Rob, I love that you had a couple good E30's and then threw one in with carbon fiber fender flares and Rota Grids.

Another day of no emails and no calls about a job. Fucking **** this shit.

Oh, you know, filled with shitloads of violence. Gay marriage bill going before the state senate in the coming days. For a more local answer to your question, we ran the numbers and found we pulled a grand total of $1.6M in revenue (not profit) for 2012, which is a slight jump over last year's $1.2M.

So, same shit as usual, I guess.

My girl wants me to move to Chicago, I'd probably try to get hook up working at goose island but I have no idea if I'd like Chicago at all

awesome news. good to hear at least someones making progress around here

In terms of revenue (jobs in and out the door), yes. In terms of profit growth? Didn't check the numbers, but the majority of profit goes into growing the business (parts for shop cars, new diagnostic tools, new shop equipment, being able to stop jobs for a few days to devote time to project cars just before a show, etc.). I sure as shit didn't see an extra dime this year, and I loathe for the moment when I dare ask about that.

...And I just found out that I lost $12 per weekly paycheck (I'm salaried) due to an increase in social security tax. Whatever, I'm fine with that, seeing as how I want that money to exist when I get that old.

You were close, Kyle. We ran the group buy through Brecus on M5Board for $999, but MSRP is $1500 + shipping.

We're currently selling them for $1500 including shipping, so you save a chunk of change on the S&H (it's not a small box).

I can give you more info if you like, just let me know. PM, Facebook, E-mail, whatever.

Also, we canceled our RPMWare subscription since they jacked rates up and we saw next to no sales from the Products page. We're figuring out what we want to do with that now.

Oooh. It's a ton of fun, at least it is for me. It all depends on what you like.

Payroll tax. Went back up to 6.2% from 4.2%. If you make $30k a year you would see a reduction of $50. If you make $113,500 or something close to that and above, it would be a reduction of $187.50.
